>>5204218Also I think most people's exposure to the series was SNES Zool and that was the worst version of the game that changed the music, made you jump while holding L to spin and changed the level designs to even more disorienting mazes.

>>5204218I have only played Sega Zool and I had a lot of fun with it, especially the movement. But there's a level pretty early on that doesn't provide enough collectibles for you to gather to progress to the next area. So you have to hope enemies drop enough collectibles for you to progress, but the chances of them dropping are pretty low. Timing out on that level repeatedly without ever progressing is pretty easy to do. Kind of ruined it for me.
